First and foremost I'd like it to be known that I do not like having to do this kind of thing. However in the interest of protecting the site from bad actors that seem to have unlimited time but no time to have a discussion about how to behave here. My hope is that this will lead to a discussion and a real solution to the behavior that has been causing problems here on poal.co. @Hanswormhat I genuinely tried to reason with you without resorting to using admin abilities, and your behavior is at this point just abusive. I genuinely regret its come to this.

The straw that broke the camels back is the abusive comments on almost every post. This in my view is attempting to discourage people from speaking and is attempting to use his speech to silence others. This is not acceptable and is not ban worthy but I'm not going to let it continue until a agreement can be reached.

I have not had to take this kind of action in almost a year and I'm very happy I can say that. I don't do it lightly or without a considerable amount of thought.

As always if you think I have made a mistake please call me out on it.

I'm tired of getting run off of good sites because of looser trolls. There is a difference between targeting someone because of the content of their post that you disagree with, and targeting someone because of their pattern of engagement on a platform. I think there should be basic codes of conduct that we should all agree too and if a user repeatedly violates them then they get the boot. Free speech is not a, "I get to be an asshole' card. I think some generally accepted codes of conduct that could result in bans that we can all agree too are:

  1. Anything illegal or promoting illegal activity

  2. CP

  3. Vote/posting/comment manipulations

  4. Doxxing other users

  5. Promoting violence

The thing is he didn't do any of the things you listed.

Maybe have another rule against unreasonable accusations (he did after all make plenty of accusations).

But I suspect in that case he would simply flood poal with flat earth stuff or something else that will get annoying very quickly.

Voat solved it by limiting the amount of submissions for new and downvoted users.

If you have the gay faggot reddit tier voating systems, you're always going to have censorship. That is all the gay faggot voating sytems are for.

If you have unprincipled admins, you're always going to get cowards like kevdude doxxing people.
